100,000 Ghosts: Fake IDs, Buried Truth, and the Persecution of Patriots

The 2020 election wasn’t just a vote—it was a battle that broke hearts, lives, and trust. I lived through Biden’s COVID tyranny, censored for sharing raw data showing a 2% death rate (excluding comorbidities), and watched friends become enemies over the truth. But nothing hits harder than learning about 19,888 fake driver’s licenses seized in Chicago, a buried FBI report alleging Chinese election meddling, and my suspicion that over 100,000 more IDs slipped through to rig the vote. Worse, innocent patriots like Matthew Perna and John Strand, who believed in a stolen election, were set up, charged, and crushed by a system that hid the truth while punishing dissent.

Chicago’s Red Flag: 20,000 Fake IDs and Beyond

In June 2025, FBI Director Kash Patel declassified an August 2020 report claiming the Chinese Communist Party aimed to flood the U.S. with fake driver’s licenses to forge mail-in ballots for Joe Biden. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) seized 19,888 counterfeit IDs at Chicago O’Hare from January to June 2020, mostly from China and Hong Kong. These were no amateur fakes—some passed barcode scans, primed for use in an election with lax voter ID checks. But O’Hare wasn’t alone. CBP reported seizures in Dallas (2,000 IDs), Louisville (5,000 in 2019), and Cincinnati (2,233 in 2020). If O’Hare’s 19,888 were just 20% of shipments—a conservative estimate—nearly 100,000 IDs could have hit that hub. Across multiple ports, I believe over 100,000 fake IDs entered, targeting swing states like Georgia (won by 11,779 votes) or Pennsylvania, where verification was a farce.

The FBI’s Betrayal: Shredding the Evidence

The FBI, under Christopher Wray, recalled and destroyed that report, claiming they needed to re-interview the source. Destroyed? That’s not protocol—that’s a cover-up. Senator Chuck Grassley’s demanding answers by July 1, 2025, but I’ve seen the FBI stonewall before, from Strzok-Page’s 2016 anti-Trump texts to their silence on Hunter Biden. Why bury a report on Chinese interference? Maybe because it would validate the “Stop the Steal” cries of patriots like Perna and Strand, who paid the ultimate price for their beliefs.

Mail-In Voting: A Rigged Game

2020’s 65 million mail-in ballots came with relaxed rules. Pennsylvania ignored signature mismatches without voter notice. Wisconsin let voters dodge ID checks with “indefinite confinement” claims. Georgia’s drop boxes raised tampering fears. These gaps, paired with 100,000+ potential fake IDs, opened the door to fraud. The Heritage Foundation’s fraud database lists few 2020 cases, none tied to foreign interference—because the FBI hid the report until 2025. In states with margins as tight as 10,457 votes (Arizona), even a fraction of those IDs could’ve swung the election.

The Human Cost: Perna, Strand, and the J6 Trap

This isn’t about numbers—it’s about people set up to fall. Matthew Perna, 37, believed the election was stolen. On January 6, 2021, he entered the Capitol through an open door, chanting “USA!” and taking photos. For this, he faced felony charges and years in prison. On February 25, 2022, he took his life, crushed by a system that ignored the fake IDs he suspected. John Strand, a model and spokesman for America’s Frontline Doctors, had a permit with Dr. Simone Gold to speak at a “Rally for Health Freedom” near the Capitol. When the event was canceled, they joined the crowd, entering through the East Rotunda Doors. Strand, acting as Gold’s protector, was arrested January 18, 2021, charged with five counts, including felony obstruction, and convicted in September 2022. He spent over a year in prison, including brutal isolation, for what he called a “peaceful” act of free speech. Gold pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor, serving 60 days, but Strand’s refusal to take a plea deal cost him dearly. Over 1,400 J6 defendants, including four who died by suicide, faced similar persecution—jobs lost, savings drained, lives shattered—while the FBI buried evidence of 20,000 fake IDs and likely more.

My Fight, Their Fight

I can not claim I know their pain; however, I was called a conspiracy theorist for sharing CDC data on COVID, losing friends, and facing censorship. Like Perna and Strand, I fought for truth in a system that punishes it. If 100,000+ fake IDs got through, as I suspect, it validates their distrust—and mine. Later CBP seizures—4,345 IDs in Chicago in April 2025—show this wasn’t a one-off. But without a nationwide 2020 CBP tally or FBI transparency, we’re left with ghosts: the IDs, the truth, and the patriots like Perna and Strand.

Demanding Justice

We can’t undo Perna’s loss or Strand’s imprisonment, but we can fight back. Grassley must demand CBP’s 2020 seizure data from all 328 ports to confirm my 100,000+ estimate. Public hearings could expose the FBI’s cover-up and honor J6 victims. The SAVE Act, which I’ve championed, would mandate voter ID to prevent future fraud. On X and beyond, we must share these stories—Perna’s, Strand’s, and ours—to demand accountability. The 100,000 ghosts of those fake IDs haunt our democracy. Let’s give them a voice.
